In the last three years alone, nearly 25,000 young Africans have been trained and educated in India. They are the 25,000 new links between both.
5. Healthcare & Medicine:
India’s expertise in healthcare and affordable medicines can offer new hope in the fight against many diseases; and give a newborn a better chance to survive.
